PG - 15 Weeks 4 Days - Busy with Work

Sorry I haven't been around much lately. I've been so swamped with work it's taken over my life. I think I've mentioned it before that my team at work has gone from managing two people to managing five, which started in the first week of January. My team also has a huge amount of work for this year to do. It's really good though, as it's a great opportunity for me, but as Leo travels for business sometimes lately, it's been rough. I could really use a little more time at the office or online with work until I get over this hump. Considering part of what I'm trying to preparing for is to have everyone up to speed by the end of March in case I end up on bedrest, I know this extra time at work is a short-time thing.

Other than that, things are going well. I wasn't feeling the babies that much for the past week, but I think it was because they were moving up. Today they were very active and I could feel them, but it was higher on my stomach than down lower. I've also been craving carbs big time. I'm ready to nickname these babies Pasta and Bagel.

I haven't even had a lot of time to catch up with everyone's blogs. I'll go see if I can make some time for that now.

Comments

Hi, Pasta and Bagel, love the nicknames. Thanks for the sweet comment today, made me laugh, I bet you are tired gestating the Carbo Kings or Queens? I love your attitude about the reunion, I hope you get to go. I had a blast at my 20th.

I love those nicknames! Too cute! I think we're a week apart or so! Though I have a feeling you may have them sooner than I'll have my singleton!

I have a nickname but this is when I was going thru a Frank Zappa music phase early on.. and I call the baby Zappa... I thought it was cute.. but then again don't know if it's a girl or a boy! Are you finding out? We are.. it will be on March 5th! Can't wait!

Nana said I was so happy to read your blog I told your mother I was worried dont do that to this old lady again My parys for the family and the new ones daily Keep on writing it makes my day Loves & kises nana

I've been a little bad on my diet beta test plan over the weekend, eating bread and drinking wine. I'm ready for a hard do-over and get myself ready to try my first supported fast. Over the weekend while I was doing some much needed weeding, I was listening to podcasts, especially The Chalene Show, and one in particular about working on your habits. Right now I have two habits to work on - not drinking a glass of wine in the evening after the kids go to bed and exercising daily. I'm going to use the replace tactic for the wine and swap it for herbal tea or ginger-turmeric latte. On the exercise, I need to keep to simple workouts like PiYo on Beachbody On Demand and remind myself how good I feel when I workout. Today my nutrition was as follows:

I'm about to embark on something amazing! I signed up for Chalene's Diet Beta Test yesterday. Our prep week is next week and then we officially start our new way of eating on May 1. I can't wait to learn more about it, as I've been listening to Chalene's latest podcasts about sleep and diet. They all make a lot of sense to me as I've been experimenting myself with intermittent fasting, what foods I'm eating and better sleep. Sounds like this is the perfect solution for me to use her and her experts to help increase my knowledge on how to keep time from taking its toll on me.

Things were getting really tough since September of last year and right before my birthday in March, I decided things had to change. I've been doing a lot of soul searching, experimenting with different ideas and trying to keep an open mind. I'll try to update here more often with information on what things I'm trying, recipes I'm cooking and our menu plans and ove…

I'm a working-mom in my mid-40s. I have three children: a teenage daughter in high school and twin boys in 3rd grade. I love healthy recipes, yoga, Pinterest, and gardening.
